Leadership Skill: Leadership Development

Give me a leader for a generation and I will perpetuate the organization for a generation.

Help me to develop leaders in every generation, and I will perpetuate the organization forever.

So remember the following leadership skill development points:

Conscious and conscientious development of competent, caring leaders is critical to organizational survival.
Your personal legacy will not survive unless you entrust it to a successor who has been well developed and shares your mission and business philosophy.
Constantly assess your leadership "bench strength," because accidents and unplanned events can deprive you of potential leaders.
Coaching and mentoring are keys to the developement of tomorrow's leaders.
Developmnetal assignments are the best way to prepare a leader for more responsibility.
Learning by doing carries mroe impact than verbal transfer of information.
Orderly successions help ensure that an organization will survive and stay true to it's mission; contentious or unplanned successions can endanger the organizaiton and its mission.
The best leaders "let go" gradually, so that the next generation of leaders can be developed and eventually take over.
The best leaders subordinate their own egos to the ongoing success of the organization. They wish and actively plan for their successors to surpass them.
